Hindalco Industries, the Aditya Birla Group’s flagship metals company, has reported that its June quarter net profit increased 75 per cent to ₹7,013 crore from ₹4,004 crore, on the back of firm metal prices and low-cost inventory.
Revenue jumped 32 per cent to ₹84,825 crore (from ₹64,232 crore). EBITDA was up 73 per cent to ₹14,989 crore (from ₹8,673 crore) as LME aluminium prices increased to $3,577 a tonne from $2,447 a tonne.
Upstream aluminium EBITDA per tonne was up to $2,331 (from $1,467). However, sales volumes increased only 3 per cent to 3.35 lakh tonnes (from 3.25 lakh tonnes).
Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries, said the India business delivered another record quarterly performance, while Novelis reported improved profitability, supported by the successful restart of the Oswego facility and continued benefits from cost-optimisation measures.
Aided by a supply shortage, the aluminium upstream business reported an all-time high EBITDA, backed by favourable market conditions and operational efficiencies, he said.
The downstream copper and aluminium businesses also delivered record quarterly EBITDA, reflecting the continued strength of the company’s diversified business model, value-added products and operational excellence, said Pai.
The company operationalised a 65 MW round-the-clock renewable energy project at Aditya Aluminium, making Hindalco the only company in India with an operational captive round-the-clock renewable energy plant.
Downstream aluminium sales were up 3 per cent to 1.04 lakh tonnes, with revenue increasing 46 per cent to ₹4,889 crore. The EBITDA hit an all-time high of ₹298 crore, supported by a favourable product mix and higher shipments.
The company has commissioned an aluminium battery foil plant at Aditya and a coated AC fins plant at Taloja, while the FRP plant at Aditya is scaling up to optimal production levels.
Copper metal sales were down 16 per cent to 1.05 lakh tonnes (from 1.24 lakh tonnes), with continuous cast rod sales dropping 8 per cent to 96,000 tonnes (from 1.04 lakh tonnes). However, revenue was up 16 per cent to ₹17,232 crore (from ₹14,886 crore). EBITDA rose to ₹918 crore (from ₹673 crore) on the back of a sharp jump in prices.
The new copper tubes and inner-grooved tubes plant was fully operational and is being scaled up, said the company. The company plans to commission its copper and e-waste recycling project in FY27.
“Our target is to source 50 per cent of aluminium scrap domestically over the next three years and secure 60-70 per cent of copper scrap through domestic sourcing within two years by processing e-waste,” said Pai.
